Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend ST40R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge
Product Description
The Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend ST40R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge delivers robust performance tailored for clinical diagnostics, biotechnology, and molecular biology research applications. Designed for efficient bioprocessing workflows, it accommodates up to 4 liters of sample volume with capacity for 40% more conical tubes and 100% more blood tubes than comparable models—critical for high-throughput molecular cloning and synthetic biology pipelines.
Key technical features include:
- Maximum speed of 15,200 rpm (with fixed-angle rotor) achieving up to 25,314 x g, enabling rapid pelleting of biological samples critical in molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing.
- Programmable refrigerated temperature control range from -10°C to +40°C protects temperature-sensitive samples during centrifugation, essential for live-cell imaging sample prep and fluorescence analysis.
- Microprocessor-controlled operation supports 9 acceleration and 10 deceleration profiles with memory storage of 6 customizable programs, ensuring precise and repeatable runs suitable for standardized bioprocess protocols.
- Integrated timer with HOLD function, operable up to 9 hours and 99 minutes, supports extended centrifugation processes common in synthetic biology and gene editing research.
- Quiet, low-profile direct, brushless induction motor maintains noise levels under 61 dBA, suited for laboratory environments demanding minimal disruption.
- Compliance with key safety and performance standards such as IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) compliance, IEC 61010-1/2, CSA, CE, UL listings, and certified biosafety positioning it as a reliable instrument in clinical and biotech laboratories.
Dimensions measure 27 x 22 x 14 inches, with a weight of 256 lbs, making this centrifuge a durable benchtop solution optimized for molecular biology workflows, bioprocessing, and clinical sample preparation.
This refrigerated centrifuge supports various rotors—including fixed angle and swing bucket (TX-750)—allowing adaptable use cases from nucleic acid extraction to blood sample processing in biomedical engineering. The Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend ST40R is widely adopted for its precision, capacity, and temperature stability, proving essential in gene editing, synthetic biology research, and complex biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
